Topaz to Amethyst

Guess I'm losing weight after all. My topaz ring got so loose, I had to stop wearing it. It was a gift from Mary Ellen, my mother-in-law at the time. She gave me a nice bloodstone ring (her birthstone) at the same time. Emily has it. Courtney says she wants the topaz.

Now I'm wearing the amethyst ring Aunt Jeanette gave me about 15 years ago. She's in a nursing home with alzheimer's now. My friend Britt gave me earrings to match & she hadn't even seen the ring. I don't know where Britt is or if she's even alive. She had a lot of problems adjusting to her husband's death (heart attack). The last time I heard from her was a card when she lived in Denver with her daughter. Then nothing. That's been about 4 - 5 years.

Aunt Jeanette, Britt, & I all have February birthdays. Harriett too, but no jewelry involved. Just friendship & correspondence.

I have another amethyst ring from Emily & Courtney's dad, but it's too fancy to wear on a daily basis. I haven't been anyplace fancy for a very long time...

PS. Two weeks later I removed the Amethyst ring. It was just a little tight some days & I didn't want it to get stuck on my hand.
